“…We hope to be able to include one such book symposium in each future issue of ETMP and while that might be a bit ambitious, the next symposium is already planned for the first issue of 2021 (Wallace 2019;Bennett 2019;and Smith 2020) and we are working on others.…”

If you are looking for comfort in those vicious times, look no further than academic journals. Those old-fashioned institutions -or should we call them by their new name… those websites take such a long view of things that you will find no trace of COVID-19 in this issue of ETMP and thank god for that if you ask me.Still, philosophy in particular has always paid a steep price for its taking of the long view: basically, nobody cares. It is therefore a delight for us to be able to present, in this issue of Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, a philosophical debate that has, at the same time, all the strengths of the rigour, precision and over-the-top clarity commonly associated with analytic philosophy while also preserving the ambition of both using and explaining recent historical cases with all their real-life complexities (rather than fanciful thought-experiments, that is).Enter so-called vice epistemology. I know, it isn't the sexiest name in the game but isn't that the point of taking the long view? Boring is good, just look at Trump. One of the most influential authors within vice epistemology is surely Quassim Cassam and our journal now publishes a book symposium on Cassam's Vices of the Mind (Cassam 2019): the symposium consists of four commentaries plus author's replies (

Human beings, as we observe them, possess normative capacities and abilities of a complex and robust kind such that we must recognize and acknowledge our status as morally responsible agents acting in the world. Any effort to deny or repudiate this is, indeed, a form of "bad faith". Call this the "responsibility claim".(2) There are no credible accounts of the conditions of moral responsibility that serve to secure us against or leave us immune to the influence and operation of significant and relevant forms of fate and luck. Call this the "luck claim". (3) Free and responsible moral agents are still subject to forms of fate and luck of a disturbing or troubling kind. Call this the "pessimism claim".
